I had this tune from my father, Tom Paley, who had it from Narmour and Smith's 1930 recording. You can hear it on Vol 1 of County's "Mississippi String Bands" compilation.
Note the extra beat in the repeat of the B part — i.e. you leave an extra beat before coming back to the A part. And don't forget the pick-up quarter-note E when coming back!
